RE: [opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Logo
Ooooh, I see, what do you use? Like I said, I'm not good at drawing, only at using the tools, and the only ones I've ever used are GIMP, Illustrator, & Photoshop, and I'm only more familiarized with GIMP, (open source rules, lol), but if in correct, GIMP it's able to save in formats of other editors, so probably something may work. ^_^ Greetings.

Sorry, I forgot to say, I did the source in English trying to be exact to the original, just a few differences, because the font I used (Fifth-Leg) seems to be a little different from the one used in the original file, but in text size and position are the same.
The Spanish text seems bigger compared to the English one, but in fact the font size for the Spanish text is smaller than the size in the English one, just that "Noticias Semanales" is longer than "Weekly News".
Seems like my version is not very likable for the original author so apologize to him, but if anyone wants the *.xcf source file, I gladly may share it to the community, of we may just wait for the author to make some of his magic. ^_^
I do such things not with gimp
Best regards.

I didn't want to upset you, but anyway if you want me to stop, guide me to improve it, or something, just let me know.
I'm not a graphical designer or good at drawing, but I know how to use the tools.
Best regards.

Yes, sorry If this seems rude, just that I thought you were still busy,
yeah I am a little bit busy but thats not the point. I made this graphic last year in june. It was never used and now are not a few days time for doing it.
then I tried to use image editing tools and I had a decent result, so I wanted to share it to see if they like it.
I dont like it, because ur "Noticias Semanales" is to big.
Sorry if there is any inconvenience.

It is much more preferable to use vectorised images, hence using Inkscape and
the SVG format. The biggest advantage is that you can easily work on
individual objects in the image (change colours or gradients, remove that bit,
add another one), scale without any loss of quality, and externalise bits of
text as they are actually stored as plain text in the SVG file (which is an
XML based format).
The SVG images can then either be rendered directly by browsers that support
SVG (though that's mostly only recent Firefox versions, definitely not IE),
rendered from scripts (using the CLI tool rsvg-convert from the package rsvg-
view), or exported as bitmap image files directly from Inkscape. They can also
be converted to other vector formats used by publishing tools such as LaTeX
(EPS, PDF).
Now, of course, if the original file is in a bitmap format (PNG, JPEG, ...),
you can't do much about it (I didn't check in this case, just a general
remark). There are a few tools that try to do their best at vectorising bitmap
images (such as autotrace) but the result isn't always that great, it highly
depends on the original bitmap image.
But we do have SVG versions of the openSUSE logo and of Geeko:

And that for 2 reasons, one you explained, the other is that we can store on both wiki instances (en.opensuse.org and wiki.opensuse.org quite a few new file formats. From http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Upload Maximum file size: 2 MB Permitted file types: doc, docx, gif, jpg, jpeg, odp, ods, odt, pdf, png, ppt, pptx, svg, sxc, sxw, xls, xlsx. Due to max file size svg is preferred as quite large image can be stored in a relatively small file. The size of svg depends on complexity of the image, number of different details. Rendering is another problem. Server side conversion will fail with error: "Error creating thumbnail: libgomp: Thread creation failed: Resource temporarily unavailable" which is known bug (I think :). For collaboration purposes file will be available for download for other artists that would like to use it as part of their images. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
